Cons: Initially, the basics of setting up tests are pretty straight forward, but learning the little nuances of making effective tests using shared environment variables and params is where some of the real power exists. The more parameterized your tests are, the less tests you'll have to maintain; which also allows for easier maintenance/modification when necessary.

Overall: Simplified API testing tool. Easy for non-programmers to create tests (with minimal guidance). Great integration capability with Jira/Slack so that things can be easily driven with Jenkins as far as test execution kick-off/reporting/etc.

Comments: Runscope is the single online service that made my life as programmer a lot easier. We use it for both, debugging APIs, especially during the collaboration of Frontend/Backend teams and for automated testing.
The "Traffic" Module is the one we get the most value from. We use the "Test" feature mainly for functional tests of our API, less for constant monitoring, but it provides us with good data.
It takes a little to understand the overall navigation of Runscope. Single pages, especially the request and test editor are structured very logically and easy to use.
